Have you tested the hoosier setup on track yet? If so, how did it handle? I just tracked my GT-R at Reno Fernley Raceway over the weekend on the stock Bridestones, it handled great but the car could handle more stick.

Will did do some testing and he likes them alot. he still had issues going around corners because of awd of course. (btw will is the owners name).

hrm... his name on other forums is "underpressure". If i had a comment handy i would paste it, but im a bit in a rush sorry :(

I would be very interested in knowing what the difference in times are between the stock tires on the track and the Hoosiers.
I just went to Lime Rock in Ct. and the tires screamed but once i figured out to go into the turns at a min of 5500-6000 rpm and just put my foot down the tires screamed and jumped but the car pulled me through.
I was able to get down to 1.01's on a consistent basis. The car pushed alot but it is a different push then a rear wheel drive car just get over all you know and put your right foot down and hold on!

Can you tell me the wheel manufacture you used with part numbers and prices and also if you needed to do anything special to fit them.
Thanks
